Here’s What Liberals Boycotting the ‘White Oscars’ Aren’t Talking About

The Oscars will take place on February 28th, and many celebrities are boycotting it for the “lack of diversity” among winners. Will Smith and his wife, Jada Pinkett, are among two of the celebrities who recently announced they will be boycotting the Oscars.

Jada wrote on Twitter, “We are rarely recognized for our artistic accomplishments. Should people of color refrain from participating all together?”

What the Smiths, and the other celebrities joining the boycott, refuse to acknowledge is that over the years black actors and filmmakers have won many respectable awards at the Oscars.
